TORONTO, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Charlie Villanueva scored 26 points Friday and the Milwaukee Bucks celebrated the return of center Andrew Bogut with a 96-85 victory over Toronto.

Bogut had missed eight games due to back spasms. He scored 13 points with eight rebounds in 16 minutes of action.

Richard Jefferson delivered 15 of his 17 points in the second half to help Milwaukee halt a two-game skid.

Toronto, which was trying to win four straight games for the first time this season, got 18 points from Chris Bosh.

The Raptors' Jose Calderon had his streak of successful free throw attempts come to an end at 87. It was the second-longest such streak in NBA history, behind 97 in a row by Minnesota's Michael Williams in 1993.

Milwaukee opened the fourth quarter with an 11-point lead and expanded it to 17 less than 3 minutes into the period.
